Please join us in reciting the Rosary every morning (Mon-Sat) at 7:35am before daily Mass. It’s a beautiful and spiritual way to start your day. Every day following weekday Mass, we invite you to join us for the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. Prayers usually start approximately 5-10 minutes after Mass (around 8:40am). If you can’t join us, you can join the Divine Mercy on EWTN television channel at noon.

CONGRATULATIONS TO
PARISH MINISTRIES TOGETHER IN MISSION Archbishop Gomez invites every Catholic to make their annual commitment to Together in Mission. Last year, 140 PARISH DONORS helped us raise $42,216.70 of our $54,300 goal. This year’s theme of Let Us Love reminds us that our gifts to Together in Mission are an active demonstration of our faith and love for those in our Archdiocese who need our support. We invite all families, those who have given in the past, and those who have never made a gift to prayerfully consider to make a commitment to this year’s campaign. Your gifts will go a long way to helping our parish reach our 2018 PARISH GOAL of $69, 407.00. If you have not made a gift in the past to Together in Mission, we invite you to make a pledge of $100.00 payable over 10 months in honor of the 25th anniversary of the appeal. Your gift will serve as a generous act to join the community of people continuing to work to serve the poor in our Archdiocese. Thank you in advance for your generosity. ====================================== CHILDREN LECTORS Looking for interested children in becoming Lectors for the 5:30pm Mass. Please call Marina at 562-254-8133 if you are interested. We would love to have the kids involved in Mass! ====================================== CONTRIBUTION LETTERS The Parish will AUTOMATICALLY MAIL OUT contribution letters to parishioners who contributed $500 or more for 2017. If you still would like a copy of your contributions of less than that amount, please email the Parish Office with your request, at: [email protected] and provide your full name and address. ====================================== A REMINDER Monday, February 19 is President’s Day.

GO BRAVES
Did You Know? Thousands of children play games online with their friends and other gamers, but these forums are ripe with bullying, which can have serious negative effects on bullying victims. Cyber bullying can often be particularly cruel, since the bully targets victims from behind a keyboard, and his or her identity may remain hidden. Always be aware of what games your children are playing, and whom they are connecting with online. Talk to them about cyber bullying and what to do if someone is targeting them. For a copy of the complete VIRTUS® article "Preventing Cyber Bullying in Online Gaming, Part 2" visit www.archla.org/protecting.

HOLY HUMOR Little Jonnie was coming home from church one Sunday morning with his mother. His mother noticed he had a very serious look on his face. “What's on your mind, Jonnie?” she asked. “Is it true what Father said about us all coming from dust and turning back to dust?” “Yes, it is, Jonnie.” she said. "Why do you ask?" “Well, when we get home,” he answered, “You better look under my bed, because someone's either comin' or goin'!” THE BOOK OF CATHOLIC JOKES, by Deacon Tom Sheridan published by ACTA Publications, Chicago,
